BECAUSE IT IS ELECTRONIC IT HAS THE SAME POSITION IN ANY AND ALL OF THE FOUR DESIRED GEARS.

I AM BEING FORCED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH POSSIBLY DETERIORATED BRAKES, AND DISABLED AIR BAGS. *TR

DURING A VACATION TRIP, WE PARKED THE VEHICLE IN A REMOTE MOUNTAIN ROAD TURN-OUT AREA TO TAKE A SCENIC PHOTO. RETURNED TO VEHICLE, STARTED THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES AND WHAT METHODS WERE USED, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ONLY POP-BACK INTO PARK. ON SAFECAR.GOV, I NOTED PREVIOUS 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE COMPLAINTS CONCERNED WITH THE TRANSMISSION POPPING ONLY INTO NEUTRAL; BUT, FOR US IT WAS POPPING ONLY INTO PARK. THE TOWING COMPANY DID OVER $3,000 WORTH OF FRONT-END DAMAGE TO VEHICLE IN ATTEMPTING TO TOW IT WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS FROZEN IN PARK. ON THE SAME TRIP, THE DASHBOARD CONTROLS WOULD GO COMPLETELY DARK ON AN APPARENT INFREQUENT RANDOM BASIS. WE ALSO NOTED CRUISE CONTROL ACCELERATION PROBLEM WITH UNEXPECTED AND OR APPARENTLY RANDOM UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATIONS BEYOND DRIVER'S EXPECTATIONS OR IMMEDIATE CONTROL. BOTH OF THESE WHICH FRIGHTENED US. ANOTHER STRANGE THING WE NOTED WAS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION CHANGED GEAR (PRIMARILY IN LOWER GEARS), THE VEHICLE JERKED IN A ROUGH MANNER BEYOND WHAT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED IN ANY OTHER MODERN VEHICLES. *TR

VEHICLE TRAVELING AT 5 MPH, A/C ON MAX, FAN SPEED AT HIGHEST SETTING. A LOUD "POP", FOLLOWED BY A RUSH OF REFRIGERANT THROUGH THE VENTS. THE VENTS HAD BEEN POINTED DIRECTLY AT MY FACE AND I IMMEDIATELY STARTED CHOKING. WITHIN 3 SECONDS, THE ENTIRE INTERIOR HAD BEEN FLOODED WITH THIS DENSE FOG OF REFRIGERANT. I COULD NOT SEE, I COULD NOT BREATHE, I THOUGHT MY JEEP WAS TRYING TO KILL ME. I MANAGED TO STOP THE VEHICLE, OPEN THE DOOR AND EXIT BEFORE I CHOKED TO DEATH. I OPENED ALL OF THE DOORS AND LET THE VEHICLE "AIR OUT" BEFORE GETTING BACK IN TO DRIVE HOME. THE VEHICLE IS BEING SERVICED AT THE DEALER RIGHT NOW. THE FAILURE IS A LEAK IN THE EVAPORATOR COIL. *TR
